My bloods been low so just been put on iron which is helping me to feel slightly normal. I also have pelvic girdle pain which I can say is NOT fun lol but everything I feel is so worth it, I'm just so grateful to be in this position although I dnt know how the poor husband is sticking me lol!

Hey Newbie,
What is your due date?
I just got date for 20 week scan in post today, just had first scan last Tuesday which was great to see wee heartbeat! Thankfully i've had no morning sickness just nauseous at times!
Do you find you are always hungary? I am snacking almost every hour! Trying to be healthy though!

Hi newbie, jol and bumble it's getting very real and exciting now!!! I'm 16 weeks this week and morning sickness has disappeared this week ( hopefully it stays that way) and I don't feel as tired as I did a few weeks ago. The bump is constantly growing too and I actually bought some maternity clothes at the weekend got some nice comfy jeans lol
Bumble I'm snacking too but I think it's because I can't eat as much at meal times I seem to get full quicker. It's def hard trying to keep healthy!!
Jol I've been getting shooting pains today but I think it's just the ligaments adjusting as the bump seems to have taken another wee jump today. Does anyone else notice that they are bigger in the evenings than the mornings?
It's great that there is a few of us at this stage together

Hi,
Yes def bigger in the evenings its so weird! Glad your morning sickness has eased or disappeared- I still feel extremely tried at times & work feels long already! But not complaining. . . . . . . . .
I got a letter that my blood sugars were slightly raised when i got my blood tests taken, so i've to go for a Glucose Tolerance Test- has anyone else had this? From what i've read they usually test for this in around 24/5 weeks. Has anyone else had this test done?

Hi bumble I did get blood tests done at the 12 week scan although I can't remember what all they were for.
I was very sick yesterday although I think it was more like a 12 hr bug I had then pregnancy related sickness I couldnt keep any food down at all as soon as it hit my stomach it came straight back up. Although thank goodness I fine today!!
My tiredness is gone for now during the day although by about 7 or 8 in the evening I'm wiped out.
Hope everything is ok with your sugar levels do you have a date yet to get them checked out and have they given you any info on what exactly is causing it or how you can improve it?
Jol and newbie hope your keeping well xx

Hi Suzi,
It must have been a bug you had, hope you feeling better now!
I've got a date for the glucose test, got no info just a letter to say they were a little raised, i'm required to book app for test that's all. It's to test for gestational diabetes. I was shocked as I've been off all sweet things for lent, so i'll just have wait until test!
Hope everyone else is keeping well!

Hey everyone doing great energy levels have def come back up and in the last couple of weeks have finally got over my morning sickness fingers crossed it stays away ,
hope you are all doing well and enjoying it all 20 weeks scan isn't to far away for most of us I'm so excited can't wait to see wee bean again xxx

I'm 19 weeks with our 4th baby girly! We have one gorgeous boy too. We found out at 16 weeks with a private gender scan so our older children could come along & see the baby. They were all adamant baby Sprout was a boy. We're all very excited & looking forward to our scan next week (14th).

We've already began thinking of names , Our youngest Emilia has already named the baby Imogen , Hubby loves Harriet, I'm loving Lydia & the big kids have chosen Olivia. I guess we'll have to wait to meet her & she which she looks like xxx

Hi girls I had mine on Tuesday as well. It's amazing how much our little ones have grown already. Thank goodness everything went well and was measuring good xx how's everyone feeling at the mo? I'm feeling great apart from my back getting sore towards the evening time
Newbie how did your scan go?
Bumble glad to hear all went well for you too.
Here's hoping there must be some excitement in your house with the older ones!! At least you'll have plenty of help when the baby is born

Glad you both got on great also ,mine went well wee baba is growing perfect and all is how it should be I was so emotional though think just such a relief to get to this milestone but baby is a wee poser 'like its mum my husband says' lol I'm doing good having a bit of pressure I'm pelvic area but baby's head is quite low in my pelvis nurse told me ,that's the excuse for feet up in the world evening xxx what are your due dates??xxx

Hey all glad you's got to see your wee bubs, time will just fly in now. I'm just back from my 29 wk appt although I'm 30 wks tomorrow! Had another little look at baby which was fab all measuring good and approx 3.8lb which they said was good. I'm officially 3rd trimester so going try posting there.

Baby Sprout is growing beautifully too, she is due the 31st August. Did anyone else find out their baby's gender?
I'm feeling great except toothache which I only ever get during pregnancy. Oddly not with my surrogate baby, I'm off to the dentist later . xxxx

Is anyone else getting any back pain? Every evening my mid back gets sore at each side but not in the middle seems like it's from my ribs. It's more like a dull ache than a sharp pain. It doesn't matter what way I lie sit or stand it won't ease then in the morning the pain is gone again until that evening. Many one hot any tips for this.
Here's hoping we didn't find out gender as its our first so decided we want the surprise xx
